KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — The world’s oldest and largest trolley museum is right in Kennebunkport, and supports Christmas Prelude with an experience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else.

Seashore Trolley Museum is reopening for warm and toasty railway rides on restored vintage streetcars, shopping, and complimentary refreshments during both of Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude weekends, starting on Friday afternoons and continuing all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Rides are on Friday afternoons from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The Museum Store is open for shopping until 4 p.m. on each of those days, and features a large selection of rail-related gifts including books for kids and adults, toys, collectibles, DVDs and memorabilia.

Seashore Trolley Museum started in 1939 with a car from the Biddeford and Saco Railroad Company. Seashore’s historic railway runs for 3 miles along the Kennebunkport-to-Biddeford portion of the Atlantic Shore line Railway, which operated from 1904 to 1927. Throughout that time, the Atlantic Shore Line was an essential transportation link carrying residents and tourists to work, school, as well as recreation and shopping destinations.

Admission to the Museum Store and Visitors’ Center is free. Tickets are $6 per ride, per person (all ages). The trolley rides are contingent on weather conditions.

Seashore Trolley Museum is located at 195 Log Cabin Road in Kennebunkport (3 miles north of Dock Square). For more Information, call 207-967-2800 ext. 101, or go online to www.trolleymuseum.org.
